CE am I allowed to say you must taper?
How about this: I feel that for the best effect, one should taper abilify slowly.
I took a month to taper. And that was from 10mg.
I want to address a couple of things in your first post.
I feel those two doctors you mention behaved
unprofessionally. There are reasons for a code of e
thics. Unprofessional psychiatric treatment can be experienced as traumatic or damaging of one's trust. ESP psychiatry, such a wierd science to begin
with.Have you seen in passing any of these docs since you've returned home? It just occurred to me that maybe being home reactivated those hurts and injustices.... Just a thought.
So who you see now, how are they?
You went back up to 30mg? With remission of symptoms, yes?
O.K. Can you stay at 15-20mg for awhile and observe? Make a pact with yourself not to rush. Could you do that? What about 2-3 weeks?
I fight with my meds still :-/. Sorry CE this is going on.
But to have either rebound symptoms due to rapid withdrawal or re-emergence of primary symptoms won't serve any long range goals as I see it. Then there is the personal and
clinical observations that bouncing on meds reduces efficacy for some folks.Oh, be well, sweetie. Hope this wasn't just a barrage of questions.
I do agree with a poster above that it is o.k. being on or off psych meds to my thinking. Real efficacy is the goal. Try to jettison those assinine doctors. They behaved like jerks :-/
I dig a pony.
